Recovery Rebate Credit 2021

I was a dependent in 2020 and a college student, but I graduated in May 2020.

My parent received the 3rd stimulus payment in April of 2021 which included a payment for "other" and listed dependent.

When filing my 2021 taxes, can i take the rebate credit because I did not personally receive the 3rd payment?

Yes, you most likely can! Since you are no longer a dependent for 2021, you qualify to claim the credit as long as you meet the conditions listed here : What are the eligibility rules for the Recovery Rebate Credit?
